Heard on the grapevine that last year the start of RAW was delayed due to CNSW imposing a significant increase in fees for the hire of DGV. Crafty said he wouldn't do RAW at that price, so he didn't until they backed down. I wouldn't be surprised if it caught up to him this year.

I just got a note home from the kid's school and we'll be up for $40 each to go and see our kids, and several hundred others, sing in a choir. $20 for a night of racing is better value in my opinion.

I don't think I will be bringing the kids along too often, but since you asked nicely I'll ask her to whip up some stuff. The oven's broken at the moment, but she can still produce amazing sweeties. I know how much you liked the tofu filled sushi, so I'll make sure I bring some occasionally.

'Twas huge fun, as always. LACC put on a good display. There was a sea of black and gold and we had riders in every division. I even managed to pick up a point in a sprint! For a change I finished all of the races and didn't get lapped and excluded. Doing some real training (sans bananas) has made a difference and I had something in the tank at the end of each race. I've just got to get the mental aspect right to turn that into some stronger finishes. I know where I sit on the totem pole and there are a lot of riders stronger than me, but I'm determined to put in a solid performance. My goal is to be the best Div 4.5 rider that I can possibly be.
